In a lengthy interview, we talk to David Berman about everything from the subjects that populate Silver Jews songs to topics such as Teddy Roosevelt, Diane Keaton, taking over the world via Coca-Cola, and the meaninglessness of Radiohead.

Broken Social Scene's Brendan Canning tells us the best bands to see abbreviated sets by, laments the firing of his favorite radio DJ, and explains why his new dog has a Judas Priest theme song. [Interview: Tyler Grisham]

Part two of our 2008 Pitchfork Music Festival recap includes photos of the entire day's sets and interviews with Titus Andronicus, A Hawk and a Hacksaw, Jay Reatard, Icy Demons, Dizzee Rascal, Vampire Weekend, !!!, the Hold Steady, No Age, and Animal Collective.

Pitchfork's 2006 year-end mania officially commences with the first of a two-day series in which we revisit the past 12 months, chronicling the ups, downs, and random sideways twists of the motley cast of characters who populate our news section.
